Photocatalytic Overall Water Splitting on RuO <sub/>2</sub> -loaded Sm ³⁺ -doped CeO <sub/>2</sub> with Heterogenous Doping Structure

摘要： Photocatalytic overall water splitting into hydrogen and oxygen on RuO2-loaded Sm3+-doped CeO2 was examined. Pure CeO2 showed a negligible small activity, however Sm3+ doped CeO2 with heterogeneous doping structure synthesized by solid state reaction exhibited an efficient activity. Whereas, Sm3+-doped CeO2 with homogeneous doping structure showed little activity when prepared by co-precipitation method. In this study, relation between photocatalytic activity and surface doping structure was investigated.
